Abstract: The first question that springs to many people's minds when they hear of a new journal in the thermal sciences is: Why is another journal being started? Consider this field. The thermal ...

Abstract: A foundation system may involve more than a single footing with an arrangement such that the footings are sufficiently closely spaced that adjacent footings interact. Vertical, horizontal, and moment capacity of multifooting ...

Abstract: To increase power per unit volume in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), the mono-block-layer-built SOFC used an innovative shape to increase active surface area. The objective of this study is ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation of fully developed, steady, turbulent flow in longitudinally finned tubes has been performed. A two-channel, four-beam, laser-Doppler velocimeter was used to measure ...

Abstract: The critical heat flux (CHF) condition needs to be well understood for designing miniature devices involving two-phase flow. Experiments were performed to determine the CHF condition for a single ...

Abstract: The heat transfer performance of two microjet arrays was investigated using degassed deionized water and air. The inline jet arrays had diameters of 54 μm and 112 μm, a spacing of 250 μm, ...

Abstract: An investigation of the pressure drop and impingement zone heat transfer coefficient trends of a single-phase microscale impinging jet was undertaken. Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) processes ...

Abstract: An experimental study of two-phase heat transfer coefficients was carried out using R134a in uniformly heated horizontal circular microtubes with diameters from 0.50 mm to 1.60 mm over a range ...

Abstract: A detailed experimental study was carried out on the critical heat flux (CHF) condition for flow boiling of R134a in single circular microtubes. The test sections had inner diameters (ID) of ...
